All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

Interested applicants are asked to complete the online application form, either from the McGill external career site or from the Employee Workday platform. Applications will be ranked according to the collective agreement between McGill University and the MCLIU. Preference will be given to the qualified applicant with the most priority points.

The external career website is https://mcgill.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/mcgill_careers.
If you are an internal applicant (current employee), please apply through your Workday profile. A curriculum vitae, a letter indicating teaching experience and areas of specialization, the MCLIU documents and two letters of recommendation are required from all applicants with the exception of Language, Literature and Cultures graduate students.
